So how are the folks in the US Embassy in London these days? Some of the rudest people on the planet work there, in my humble opinion. 
So much so that I went through the effort of getting my last four visas in countries other than the UK.

and I gather the embassy is the next step. There have been several reports in the UK press about awful experiences within it's walls.But at least the visa was approved. We just missed it last October.

Went back to UK last week, I got a good reminder of why I moved. Weather crap (cold+rain), small cars, small rooms/houses, crap showers that dribble, run-down overpriced hotels, expensive, small roads, surly people.... and that was the highlights! It didn't fell like home.

I think he got a little freaked out when he found out the INS could audit him for up to 5 years too, but as long as we keep all the paperwork it should be fine.
As for if we do get to file, its unchartered territory for me from thereon in. I didn't really expect to confidently get to this point, and my lawyer assures me I have enough time to change status as long as we get a positive response via PERM within 60 days - but my visa is up on October 12 ... so I am not so sure! That's why I am still keeping school as a backup and putting into the motion raising money from my house in the UK.
